President Petro Poroshenko believes that Kyiv should listen to the recommendations of the anti-corruption court as long as the draft law complies with the legislation of Ukraine, as he explained in responding to a question by Evropeyska Pravda.

The President stressed that there is no alternatives to the adoption of this bill.

"I will do everything possible for the bill to pass, so that the correct wording is found, but also so that this bill is in accordance with the Ukrainian Constitution and Ukrainian legislation."

He stressed the importance of the recommendations of international partners, but noted that Ukraine will not be listening to them without alternatives.

"No one's opinion is definitive for us ... This is confirmed by my meetings with the leadership of the IMF, and with international partners," he said.

At the same time, Poroshenko himself does not intend to initiate changes to the project. "Today, the bill is before the parliament, not at the Presidential level," he explained.
